Abstract:Purpose. The purpose of given work is the development of method for bearing capacity determination of metal spans with solid wall with upper-level traffic for the railway based on the results of static tests of given type of spans. Methodology. For the span that is being classificated the survey is being conducted and the deflection under the static load using simple measuring devises (deflectometers) are performed. Obtaining the deflection data is not complicated but gives the actual view of the span conditio… Show more
